Darling, is a classical recording featuring mezzo-soprano Ann Rowe accompanied by harpsichordist J.S. Darling, along with violinist Elizabeth Chapman and cellist Frances Hooper on select pieces, presenting an intimate selection of 18th-century songs, arias, and instrumental works. The album captures a live or site-specific performance atmosphere recorded at Carter's Grove Plantation in Virginia, a historic 18th-century Georgian-style mansion built in 1755 and associated with Colonial Williamsburg, adding a layer of historical authenticity by evoking the period's musical gatherings in a preserved colonial setting. Unique aspects include its production by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and its release on a not-on-label private pressing (WS-103), aimed at preserving and promoting early American and British musical heritage through pieces like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eTobacco is like love\u003c\/span\u003e by Tobias Hume, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWhen a woman's front is wrinkled\u003c\/span\u003e from Charles Dibdin's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Padlock\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eVirgins are like the fair flower\u003c\/span\u003e from \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eThe Beggar's Opera\u003c\/span\u003e by Henry Purcell and John Pepusch, and works by Handel and Scarlatti. This recording stands out for its focus on lesser-known Baroque and early Classical vocal repertoire performed in a historically resonant location, making it a niche but interesting artifact for enthusiasts of colonial American music and early music revival efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793589727513,"sku":"WS-103","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-an_evening_of_music_at_carters_grove_plantation.jpg?v=1783553305","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/ws-103","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
